Context of Jeremiah 32:12
10I recorded it on a scroll, sealed it, called in witnesses, and weighed out the silver on the scales. 11I took the purchase agreement — the sealed copy with its terms and conditions and the open copy — and gave the purchase agreement to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the sight of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the purchase agreement, and all the Judeans sitting in the guard’s courtyard. 13“I charged Baruch in their sight, 14‘This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Take these scrolls — this purchase agreement with the sealed copy and this open copy — and put them in an earthen storage jar so they will last a long time.
